Seiberg-Witten differentials on the Hitchin base
arXiv:2302.09912 · doi:10.1007/s13398-024-01551-w
Abstract
In this note we describe explicitly, in terms of Lie theory and cameral data, the covariant (Gauss--Manin) derivative of the Seiberg--Witten differential defined on the weight-one variation of Hodge structures that exists on a Zariski open subset of the base of the Hitchin fibration. Dedicated to Tony Pantev on the occasion of his 60th birthday.
